Abstract

Electron optical studies of the oxidation of iron shows a wide variety of localized oxidation processes occur. Long oxide whiskers, blade shaped and rounded oxide platelets form depending on the environment, metal structure and stress.  Selected area electron diffraction was used to determine the structural features of the several α-Fe2O3 crystals and their mechanisms of growth.
